At 9:00 am today, Logan had his upper endoscopy and sigmoidoscopy. The procedure itself went very smoothly. We love Dr. Montes and once again, the staff at Banner Desert were great to work with! The most difficult part of today was watching Mom holding Logan still as the nurses administered his anesthesia. The 20 minute procedure revealed that Logan has some acid reflux , something we were almost sure he had since birth.
While scoping our son's GI track, Dr. Montes took several biopsies. The biopsies will help determine if there are any abnormalities on the cellular level. He will also be looking for any food allergies that might be agrevating the tissues. We should hear the results from Dr. Montes later next week.
Logan received a small dose of Demerol to help smooth out his recovery this morning. You thought messing with drunk people was fun! Try playing with a slightly impaired toddler! : ) After Logan was discharged, Mom and Dad grabbed a quick bite to eat at Mangoes (on Main Street in Mesa, one of our favorite Mexican restaurants). Logan was simply fascinated with the ceiling fans. Hhmmm, I wonder what ceiling fans look like when you're on Demerol? Other than being a little tired and grumpy, Logan has done very well and we're all looking forward to restful night.
It is nice that Banner Desert has the capacity to do these types of procedures now. When we were going through it, it was a trip to Scottsdale every time we went to see Dr. Montes and a trip to Phoenix Children’s for every test. I don't miss it and I continue to pray for your family’s success.
